From Micro to Macro
My sound installation ‘From Micro to Macro’ takes inspiration from decaying technology. It focusses on sound, image. It is an interactive, fragile, and low-tech sound installation, a communication tool exploring the spaces between the very small and the very large, the concept, ‘From Micro to Macro’. The sound installation was made mainly of my collection of old technology gadgets and other objects, found around the house. The work includes bits of broken toys, my old landline phone, a remote control, radios, a calculator, small torches, some clocks, and a small collection of headphones. I also use personal items like my old mobile phones, CD players, vinyl records, MP3 player, cameras from the 60’s and. 70’s and my old digital cameras. All the gadgets I have used have been totally trashed by time and by use. They work on batteries that must be replaced constantly. It reminds me strongly of a broken toy, and my childhood memories. The digital compositions in this sound installation are unedited improvisations, recorded in my computer during a 6-month period observing the sky at night with a basic telescope. For me, these compositions represent a narrative and journey, as reflected in my imagination, inspired by infinity. You will notice hearing the music that it is out of control; it is purely a momentary performance. |
